Subject: Re: PUPT: grants


When I was at the Center for Puppetry Arts, there was a large book which we 
called 'The Big Book of Grants' and we would apply for monies for various 
museum shows. I know that this book had another formal name and I have been 
racking my brains as to what it was. There are courses on grant writing. When 
I was at the Yale School of Drama, all the people in the administration 
program had to take a year long course in grant writing. There are some 
nonprofit groups that help people obtain funding for projects. Educational 
funding is there, but can be elusive to find. You have to look at it on 3 
levels local, state and federal. 

www.proposalwriter.com/grants.html has some good basic information on grant 
writing.

There is even a "grant writing for dummies" book and other books on the 
subject.

If you put the following search terms in Google (my favorite search engine)

arts funding grant writing

You will find a wealth of information that is a starting point for the 
wonderful world of grants.

It took me almost a year once, but we got funding to do a puppet show for the 
summer for camps and other kids. We did it in conjunction with the local 
library and arts council. So there are opportunities out there.
